BDF fonts from type 1 fonts

Instructions to make BDF fonts from type 1 fonts, by Igor Manokhin: 1. For example: We have got "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/Helvetica-Narrow-BoldOblique.pfa" file whose font name is "-adobe-helvetica-bold-o-narrow--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1". 2. Have you the X fontserver been run on your box? If haven't, you need run 'xfs'. 3. Execute "fstobdf -s name.your.box:7100 -fn \ 'adobe-helvetica-bold-o-narrow--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1' > helvNBO.bdf" 4. In any case, read manuals 'fstobdf' and 'xfs'. 5. Also you can change pixel sizes of the font through 'xfontsel'. I hope that help you.
